My father did not want to go in to a care home however well they got treated.
He visited a friend who had dementia and I had to take him in to the pub for a glass of brandy on the way home. I never knew him to drink brandy before but he said if he was in one of those homes he would just go mad.
He helped with house chores until about a month before the end of his life and used a laptop.
A friend of his said people were looked after very well but he just wanted to be with his family. He also thought a care home would be a waste of money in his case.
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
